Hi, well, I am glad it went somehow well. Could have been worse. In fact, when my mom was 54, she decided to take a drivers licence for a car, driving forward was easy for her, but she could not figure out how to turn the steering wheel when backing. So, my dad and I talked about it, and decided, on the tractor with her... the little MF 35.
Put the gearlever in 2 low, and off it went.
My old mom learned to drive on that old tractor. Both front wheels where open and she could see them, and she understood in what direction she had to turn the steering wheel when backing. She was never driving fast, but she managed. The only misshappening she had with her driving was when she was bringing in hay to the barn, a heap on the rake, my uncle on top (I think he was about 80 then) and the rake a bit too low. She had to cross a shallow ditch, and when the rear wheels were down in the ditch, the hay was left behind and she continued driving. It was rather close to the barn, but you should have seen her eyes when she turned her head and was going to back up to the door in the barn, and there was no hay, and no uncle Arthur there... lol :-) She has laughed a lot about that later... Ladies can learn too...
All the best, Bill
